1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The property of the isonitrile group to enable the simultaneous α-addition of a strong electrophile and a nucleophile has always attracted the attention of organic chemists. Its versatility is augmented when recognizing that its high structural compactness, the inertia to most of the naturally occurring functional groups, and relatively prolonged physiological and metabolical stability, convert it into the smallest bioorthogonal group. The discovery and optimization of the isonitrile-tetrazine [4+1] cycloaddition as an alternative tool for the development of ligation and decaging strategies and the recently reported reaction of isonitriles with chlorooximes bring new opportunities for the utilization of this functional group in biological systems. Although several approaches have been reported for the synthesis of isonitrile-modified carbohydrates and polysaccharides, its incorporation in proteins has been barely explored. Besides compiling the reported methods for the assembly of isonitrile-modified proteins, this Mini-Review aims at calling attention to the real potential of this modification for protein ligation, decaging, immobilization, imaging, and many other applications at a low structural and functional cost.
